Writing and Singing - Singing and Writing: August at Glimmerglass Festival in Cooperstown, New York found Patrice performing three of her songs from The Long View, A Portrait Of Ruth Bader Ginsburg In Song. Pianist/coach Sahar Nouri shared the stage with Patrice, Glimmerglass Young Artists and Notorious RBG herself, who gave her 4th annual presentation on Opera And The Law for a sold-out house. Filming for an upcoming CNN documentary included interviews and informal chat with members of the ensemble and RBG, and a really good time was had by all! (Photo by Carli Kadel)

Critical Acclaim

"...the most pinpoint accurate and unflustered account of "Exsultate, jubilate" your reviewer has ever heard. All the notes were there, as on-time and in-tune as you'd hear them from a keyboard. And yet the feeling of it was bravura enough to set the audience to cheering at the end." (Boston Globe)
